EE0904 : Medium-Voltage Switchgear focused on Marine 6.6 kV Systems

 This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions where participants will be engaged in HV power switching and other working practices. 

 This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Medium-Voltage Switchgear focused on Marine 6.6 kV Systems. It covers the marine electrical distribution architecture, medium-voltage switchgear fundamentals and system components and layout; the power flow and load distribution analysis, classification society and safety requirements and control and monitoring interfaces; the protection system, protection relays and settings and control and interlocking systems; the marinespecific redundancy and blackout prevention; and the communication, automation integration and operation of 6.6 kV switchgear. 

 Further, the course will also discuss the routine and preventive maintenance, safety and permit-to-work procedures and condition-based maintenance and diagnostics; the environmental challenges in marine installations, failure reporting and documentation and vacuum circuit breaker (VCB) principles; the testing and inspection procedures, commissioning and functional verification, troubleshooting VCBs and control circuits as well as relay and breaker interface testing; and the system reliability and redundancy concepts, power quality and harmonic control and classification and regulatory compliance. 

 During this interactive course, participants will learn the digital relays and self-diagnostic features and predictive maintenance using IoT sensors; the data analytics for switchgear health monitoring and integration into digital twins and remote dashboards; the arc-flash containment and post-incident recovery, emergency switching and isolation; the restoration sequences, load prioritization, black-start operation and synchronization; and the marine – specific protection schemes.
